Blowing in the Wind

How many times must a baker be told,

"Don't pipe 'flowers' where flowers belong?"

And how many colors are spelled correctly,

While still managing to be wrong?

How many directions are misunderstood,

Like the first Wreck that received such renown?

And how many ways can you try to explain,

That "nothing"'s still something written down?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.

The answer is "italicized" like it's blowing in the wind!

Thanks to Anna B., Alexis, Erica, David H., & Rosej, with the thanks "fuzzy" like a warm hug. (Only not in a creepy way.)

P.S. Y'all, I have to introduce you to the handiest little kitchen gadget for under $7:

Dishwasher "Dirty/Clean" Slider Bar

The whole thing is magnetic, and it also comes with a double-sided adhesive for non-metallic machines. Also comes in black, and there's a prettier cursive option if you don't want the bright red/green!

Last week we had some friends visiting with their new baby. Jen and I don't have kids - not unless you count the kind with claws and hairballs - so being around a lil' diaper potato has put me in a baby kind of mood.

Granted, I'm as seedless as a bag of lettuce*, but indulge me, won't you?

Sterile as a box of Band-Aids
Fruitless as a butcher shop
Pulp-free

Technically, it's also of girl.

I think that's spelled "Toby."

You're right: "3 Times" was just silly. Much better to cross out the "s" with that exclamation point.

Ok, nobody panic. We're just gonna need some hot towels, a flashlight, and a low voltage car battery. And no sudden movements.

Well, yee-haw! Good for you, son!

And finally,

Guess Who!!

Aaaaand the baby mood is gone.

I do, however, miss my cats.

Hey Kelly R., Merideth J., Kimberly G., Danielle R., Beverly S., Anony M., Susan G., & Sarah W., is there a doctor in the house?

If you got that last joke and know who Tom Baker is, then I have a timeless treasure for you:

Time Lord Fairy Tales

You can buy this book as a beautiful hardback, paperback, OR the the audio version, which is read by an entire cast of actors including Tom Baker! So cool, and perfect for Doctor Who fans.
